It was a decent lap. I practice just a bit and then tweaked the Setup a bit.

This setup was my base setup for my McLaren Pro Career but the settings works like charm in bahrain. Due to the high spring values the car is very stable also when you lower the wings, which is crucial in bahrain for more topspeed

First i tried it with medium Downforce, but all time and some more were lost in the last sector so i switched to low wings and soft rear springs to increase topspeed and traction and it worked beautifully

okidoke, will test tonight.I also tried doing a setup myself and I have to admit its really ticky to get it right. the smallest change can feel completely different.and sometimes a setup I toughts it's ****, suddenly works great after few rounds. I guess its the temperatures or whatever. so you cant just go in drive few curves and decide wheather its good or not, you gotta drive 2-3 laps to get the feeling for it.

If you only do time trial the temperature isn't the factor which changes the handling. It is only the mind. A little makes (sometimes) a huge difference, thats for sure.To build a fast setup you can only do time trial, but to do a good and fast race setup you need to go to a free practice, or even better into a career and make a tyre test. You can learn so much about tyre conservation in this practice program!!

Seriously, to go a bit easier into a corner for example doesn't cost as much time as tyrelife!

And you can compare your Setups into the test, but make sure you did enough laps before to get a pretty good consistant pace before you make big changes on your setup

Finally a new setup, but this time it isn't a Time Trial based one! Due to my leaguerace preperation i felt that the ultrasoft tyre isn't a good race tyre in Abu Dhabi. They only lasts for 4-5 laps and wasn't faster than the Supersoft in the first stint. So i went for a Supersoft run and was able to make a 2 Stop Strategy work (SS/S/SS) which couldn't be done without loosing a big chunk of time with the Ultrasofts.

The lap itself was quite okay, but i lost a tenths in the second and 1-2 tenths in the third sector, but i don't care
